Kanen'to:kon

Kanentokon was a Mohawk tribesman who was the leader of failed resistance against the Continental Army in 1778, fighting against John Sullivan in the Sullivan Expedition, where he was killed in action.

Biography
Kanentokon was born in Kanatahseton, on the Frontier, raised in the Kanienkehaka tribe, better known as the Mohawk. Kanentokon's village was burnt in 1761 by the Continental Army, and Kanentokon and his friend Ratonhnhaketon had a deep hatred for the Colonials. In 1773, when he grew into a young man, he warned Ratonhnhaketon, now known by his adoptive name "Connor", about William Johnson's plan to purchase the Mohawk Land for the Thirteen Colonies, resulting in Johnson's assassination at John's Town.

In 1778, during the Revolutionary War, the Continental Army of the United States planned the Sullivan Expedition against the Iroquois Confederacy, because they allied with the British, and he led resistance from the village with a war party. The Iroquois tribesman Ratonhnhaketon attempted to stop him, and he knocked out four Mohawks and killed one, and encountered Kanentokon.

Death
While Kanentokon was trying to suffocate Ratonhnhaketon, he stabbed Kanentokon in the neck with a hidden blade, killing him. Kanentokon told him that Charles Lee was riding for Monmouth, where he would tell the loyalists about George Washington's plans, and how the Loyalists would destroy the revolution, the crown would win, and the people would be safe. However, he died afterwards.
